Committee
Report on the New Jersey Naval Militia Joint Command (NJNMJC) to The
Adjutant General Organization

A chart of the current organization of the NJNMJC
is attached. This scheme reflects the governor’s reactivation authorization.
In keeping with the new Joint
Headquarters configuration required by NGB, it is recommended that the
command be
reorganized into Naval Militia and State Guard components operating under
the
NJNMJC. Manning requirements are reflected for the headquarters component.
Specific
Division manning requirements will be developed.

Force structure will be defined primarily by assigned
missions, approved strength,
and available equipment. The organizational structure of the NJNMJC is
necessarily
confined to a small staff of both NJNM and NJSG personnel for administration.
The
personnel recruited for this unit come with their own structure. For
instance, it is
anticipated that a recruiting priority will be Naval Mobile Construction
Division 21 at
Lakehurst, which will function with its existing organizational structure
under NJNMJC
tasking. NJNM and the Maritime Division of the State Guard structures
are a function of
the number of boats assigned. Each vessel will require five crews each
containing an OIC/Coxswain (E6-01), Boatswain’s Mate (E4-E6), Engineman
(E4-#6), and two
Seamen (E3). In addition, a dedicated maintenance staff will be required
consisting of
ten individuals (E4-W4) for every three boats. Division staffs will be
designed to
accommodate a complement of 3,000. Aggressive recruiting efforts will
be pursued on a
voluntary basis to expand the force structure from 475 in Year 1 to 1,205
in Year 3.
Current membership is at 160. Due to the cessation of accessions, an
additional 130
applications are pending.
